Default Re: router problems

RR,

What is the model of linksys. I know that one of my linksys wireless routers is unplayable on party in MTT's, but fine in ring games. Go figure.

Linksys is also infamous for having problems with every few weeks losing "routing" ability. In other words, you still appear to have a connection, but it stops routing you to the cable modem. Firmware update sometimes fixes this problem, sometimes not. If it doesnt, the fix is simply to restart the router. The best solution I've found for this is to go down to home depot and purchase a appliance timer. Set it to turn the router off at a set time every day (Say 6 AM) and then turn it back on at 6:05 AM. Thus power cycling your router, and fixing hte problem of your router having to be periodically reset.

Hope this helps.

Nick
